What in the name of Sam Hill is Hezbollah? I just looked it up, but please tell people what it is; it sounded like a Bible name to me.
I think you should have mentioned the birth of Richard McDonald (McDonald's guy).
I don't mind if you post this one.
Thank you for posting again.
You can probably guess who I am, so I won't say.
